By DOROTHY GARBUTT The Hostess This change in the hospital visiting hours from 2-4 p.m. to 2-3:30 pjn. has rather mixed up pur hospital visiting the past two weeks as the Y.W.C.A. visitor just sets in a few visits when it's time to go.

Coupling the success of the African campaign with the grand fight of the Russians who, with the battle season in their part of the country now well advanced, we seem to have definitely turned the corner and are at last on the way to our victory. On the other hand, there is no justification to assume that the rest of the way is going to be easy or that all we have now is a downhill pull. We wouldbe surprised if the enemy is as yet anywhere near the breaking point. Quite possibly the Worst and the bloodiest and the hardest fighting is yet to come in this war to the death. evening.

Nurses' Week . ' Apropos of Nurses' -Week which, commencing next Monday, will be specially observed in Prince Rupert, it is fitting for us to agree that ,the nurses of Canada are meeting a great challenge at the present time. The war nas increased the demands for nursing service in all fields to the extent that every possible means of conserving and strengthening nurse power is being considered. Approximately 1,600 nurses are serving in the armed forces: the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, and it is quite possible that more will be called, at any time. Over 300 Canadian nurses are in South Africa. While the necessary supply of nurses for the armed forces must be maintained, civilian nursing needs must be safeguarded. More nurses are needed to take care of the sick m hospitals; more public health nurses are required to meet the health needs in homes, and in the community Public health nurses with special preparation are wanted in increasing number to safeguard the henlth ol workers in war industries throughout Canada. Private j duty nurses are becoming scarce. j Nursing today is war work with a future. High schooli and university graduates who enter nursing now will play a very important role during their training, in the nature of a war effort, and after graduation they should find manv opportunities for service. Nurses have always held positions of great responsibility but not for years haw thev had so many positions open to them. les, Canada needs nurses from among promisinr young women v0 possess the personality, the necessary education, and abilities to enter nursing necessa4r-v City's Case Strengthened . . . Some progress appears to have been made in the way of enlisting strong support for Prince Rupert's case with a view to obtaining substantial federal aid in connection with the maintenance of roads and services here under the pressure of heavy use and demands in connection with defence developments and the war effort. Notable among them are sympathetic letters which have been received from the minister of municipalities of the province. They should greatly strengthen the city's case and possibly we are justified in expecting some real help soon. Anyway, the matter is still being vigorously pursued as federal aid is obviously the only means of solution since it is now far beyond the ability of the city itself to take care of. iui Aiawjf uaiiLC.
